Some Nigerian-owned guest houses and shops were burnt while four Nigerians were beaten and hospitalised.

The Nigerian community in the area denied the allegations.

Mr Paul Nwanedo, chairman of the Nigerian Union, South Africa,(NUSA) chapter in the Province, told NAN on the telephone from Rustenburg on Sunday that the executive of the body met with the police to resolve the problems.

“The executive of NUSA Rustenburg had a robust meeting with the police on Saturday and it lasted more than three hours.

“The meeting focused on the way forward, especially how to end drug trafficking, prostitution and prevent any attack on foreigners,” he said.

Nwanedo said that the executive agreed to take charge and tackle crime among the Nigerian community.

According to him, the union agreed to engage and dialogue with the communities and all stakeholders to end hostilities. (NAN)
